45 Chris Lammons DB

Lammons was waived by the Dolphins on Saturday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Lammons served in a rotational role in the secondary in the middle of the season, but he played only 13 defensive snaps across the last three games. The 23-year-old totaled 13 tackles (eight solo) and one interception in 12 games.

Lammons signed with Miami's practice squad Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Ironically, Lammons' last action on an NFL field took place in a preseason loss to the Dolphins in August while playing for the Falcons. Even more interesting was that wide receiver Francis Owusu scored on Lammons in that game, and now Owusu was also signed to the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday. Lammons was beat out by the depth in Atlanta's secondary back in August, but now he has a chance to impress in Miami.

Lammons picked up two tackles, a pass deflection and an interception in Atlanta's 34-7 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Thursday.

With so much depth in the defensive backfield, it remains unlikely that Lammons will clinch a spot on the 53-man roster, especially with the Falcons acquiring safety Jordan Richards from New England on Friday. Besides surrendering a third-quarter touchdown reception to Francis Owusu, the undrafted rookie out of South Carolina played admirably in what could prove to be his final audition with Atlanta, delivering a couple of hard hits, and picking off David Fales just moments before the conclusion of the first half.
